A human trafficking investigation out of Missouri has led to the arrest of 82 people with 31 victims rescued in what officials have called a “massive multi-agency operation.”

According to the Department of Homeland Security, the 10-day operation took place in three different cities across Missouri and concluded earlier this week. Of the 31 people rescued, 17 were adults and 14 were missing children. The youngest victim was only four years old.

The suspects arrested face multiple charges, including soliciting prostitution, narcotics violations and felony assault on a police officer. The names of those arrested have not yet been released.
